Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies with Walnuts and Sea Salt Recipe
These Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies with Walnuts and Sea Salt are basically edible therapy—but with less crying and more crunchy-chewy bliss. They’re decadent, gooey, a little salty (like your group chat), and 100% dairy-free. You don’t need eggs, just emotional support walnuts and a spatula. The sea salt flirts with the melty chocolate, while the walnuts crash the party like they own it. You’ll bake a batch “for friends,” but spoiler: they won’t make it past your kitchen. Grab your mixing bowl, toss on an apron—or don’t—and prepare for dessert domination, one plant-based bite at a time.
Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies with Walnuts and Sea Salt Recipe
These vegan chocolate chip cookies are crispy on the edges, soft in the middle, and topped with sea salt for that irresistible salty-sweet combo.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper like the organized goddess you are.
- In a bowl, cream coconut oil and brown sugar until it’s a sugary dream.
- Add vanilla and plant milk. Mix until it looks like sweet vegan sludge (in a good way).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt.
- Slowly add dry mix to wet ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms and your arms feel slightly gym-worthy.
- Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts. Try not to eat it all raw.
- Scoop dough into 1.5-inch balls and place on the sheet, leaving room for cookie drama.
- Sprinkle a tiny bit of sea salt on top for sass.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden around the edges and still soft in the middle.
- Cool on a rack—or eat warm and melt your soul.
